"Wear Your Love Like Heaven" is a song and US single by British singer-songwriter Donovan, released in 1967. It became the opening track of his 1967 double-disc album A Gift from a Flower to a Garden. It peaked at No. 23 in the Billboard Hot 100.

The song was originally written toward the end of the sessions for A Gift from a Flower to a Garden, after Epic Records head Clive Davis mentioned the lack of a hit single among the songs recorded to date. It was one of just two tracks on the album produced by Mickie Most, the other being the single's B-side "Oh Gosh". The song mentions seven dye and pigment colours, which stemmed from Donovan's love of painting: Prussian blue, scarlet, crimson, Havana lake, rose carmethene, alizarin crimson and carmine.

According to Billboard, the single has a "vital lyric message backed by a solid dance beat". Cash Box said that it has "a message of love that should prove itself one of the chanter’s brightest sellers" and that the "easy-going steady beat lacks the basic drive of 'There Is A Mountain' but puts far more melodic beauty in this side."
